Providing unmatched night and all weather attack capabilities to US Navy and Marine Corp squadrons for 34 years, the Grumman A-6 Intruder was an effective and sophisticated weapon. Introduced to combat in July of 1965, A-6s of VA-75 attacked bridges at Bac Bang, (North) Viet Nam. Intruders continued to fly missions throughout the Viet Nam war and in later conflicts including Desert Storm. With the cancellation of its replacement, the A-12, the Intruder should have received a new lease on life.
